Thanks for sharing this article. I did have some knowledge about companies especially those in the furniture industry using recycled materials to come up with new product ranges in order to minimise waste but wasn't aware that it was referred to a particular term (circular model) until I came across your article and ever since have been doing some reading up on Google about it.

It so easy to always think new, but why does new always also have to be a new resource? I really like Emeco for this reason as Emeco all-aluminium chairs are 100% recyclable. In fact, many of their chairs are made by hand and mostly from recycled stuff. For example, their 111 Navy Chair is made from 111 recycled plastic bottles and the Broom Chair by Philippe Starck from 90% reclaimed materials. It’s a philosophy I’d love to see more of.

Hi Lin, glad I was able to introduce you to this new economic model. Fingers crossed for the future. We certainly need to make some massive changes!

This is something I had never heard of Stacey – so thank you for your post. This is definitely the way forward. We are such throw away disposable society that it worries me that we are not concerned about the future. Recycling and adapting products is the way forward – so hopefully more companies will be taking note and this will be a growing trend.

I’m pretty confident that the younger generations totally get it and are going to do all they can to save our planet. There are some great companies out there that are coming up with super innovative ideas and it’s great to see.

I agree it’s absolutely the only way forward if we are to avert our environmental catastrophe xx

In reply to Juan Sandiego.

Thanks Juan. This is what I love to do more than anything. Writing really in-depth pieces about more complicated issues. I;m really excited to see how things develop with the circular economy. It just makes so much sense for the environment, for consumers and for business.

Thanks for sharing the pdf article, Stacey. I didn’t know much about the concept but you dug deep into it and put together a fab piece.

Sorry if this is a duplicate comment. I’m not sure if the other one went through.
